Chapter 139 She is willing
Someone asked with a smile, and Fan Qingyi quickly regained his concentration, "Of course, it's free for everyone, you decide how to eat it."
"Okay, Sister Fan is still easy to talk to."
The stalls at the door that sell good food will not let you take away the free soup.
Not only will you not be allowed to take it away, you have to ask them for it before they will give it to you.
The soup is also watery when it is served, but it is not as rich as Sister Fan's soup.
Look at this white and tender tofu, you don't even need to dig the bottom with a spoon, just scoop it up and you will get a spoonful of soup and tofu.
Take this soup home, add some water in the evening, and cook some soup noodles. Oh, it's so delicious.
The clay pot was soon empty, and the people who were about to line up kept sighing, "I was only delayed for two minutes..."
Fan Qingyi apologized with a smile, "Sorry, there are only three servings of food left."
The people behind sighed and left, looking for food elsewhere.
"The new dumplings next door are delicious, you can try them." Fan Qingyi made a suggestion to the guests who were about to leave.
The guests smiled and thanked him, some went and some didn't.
Of course, this was no longer something Fan Qingyi could control.
Fan Qingyi was free, and his eyes looked at Secretary Zhou's table again, still thinking about what he had just said.
"Fei Fei said your food is good, and Deputy Factory Manager Liu suggested that we try it."
This statement couldn't be more straightforward.
Liu Feifei found Deputy Factory Manager Liu, who arranged for them to come.
Was it...
because the guy next door named Gou spent money to hire someone to cause trouble?
She understood Feifei's intention, but this... really made things difficult for Deputy Factory Manager Liu.
Fan Qingyi sighed slightly in her heart.
She didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Just as she was at a loss, Secretary Zhou stood up and walked towards her, "Sister Fan, the food you cook is really delicious. I heard from Feifei and Chengcai that you plan to open a hot pot restaurant. How are the preparations going?"
"Almost done, it will be available next week at the latest." Fan Qingyi said hurriedly.
Secretary Zhou smiled, "Okay, then we will definitely come to support you then."
"You are most welcome."
"I hope that Sister Fan's food will always be so delicious and affordable."
Fan Qingyi nodded, "Please rest assured, factory leaders, I will not do anything against my conscience."
Secretary Zhou heard the meaning of her words and smiled again, "Okay, I will pass on the message."
After that, he turned and left.
His two colleagues also nodded and smiled at Fan Qingyi, and followed Secretary Zhou to leave.
Fan Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Calculating the time Liu Chengcai mentioned, she began to look at the soup base for hot pot in the space mall. The mall has direct sales and recipes for making soup bases. Fan Qingyi tried both.
Obviously, making your own soup base is better for the body.
She chose to make her own soup base.
Pork bone soup, beef bone soup, mutton bone soup, old hen soup, old duck soup, various kinds of meat soup as the base, then add various spices, health-preserving herbs, or pure mushroom soup, hot and sour cabbage pot, sauerkraut pot...
Fan Qingyi cooked seven or eight kinds in one breath, and waited for the twins to get out of school and let them taste.
The mother and daughter discussed for a long time and picked out four kinds according to the types of vegetables and meat that the space could provide.
Hot and sour cabbage pot base, health-preserving mushroom soup, clear soup pot, and a spicy soup base.
Various green vegetables began to be sown for future use.
Cows, sheep, and pigs were also harvested with one click. A cutting machine was bought at the mall and cut into rolls for future use, and some were made into meatballs.
"Mom, there's charcoal."
Li Zhenzhu pointed at the charcoal kiln, "You can start firing the kiln. This is the first time I've seen charcoal being fired."
[Wow, there's everything. The functions of this space are really amazing. No wonder Li Yuanbao can make a fortune with this space.]
The little daughter's voice was clearly heard by Fan Qingyi.
Fan Qingyi raised her eyes and looked at the space that she had upgraded to level 36.
It was only level 36, but so many useful functions had been opened. She didn't dare to think about how many more novel functions there would be.
She smiled at her second daughter, "This is the first time I've seen it too."
She opened the panel and turned on the function of felling trees and firing charcoal with one click.
After clicking, the classification of charcoal firing jumped out according to the type of tree.
Oak and beech trees fire white charcoal.
Bamboo charcoal made from bamboo is considered black charcoal. Charcoal made from oak is also black charcoal. Cheaper black charcoal is made from elm, basswood, and willow.
Fan Qingyi studied it carefully and felt that bamboo charcoal was the best among them, and it burned for a long time.
But there were few bamboos on the mountain, and there was little usable bamboo charcoal that could be burned, so Fan Qingyi was short of white charcoal for backup.
She was busy for two days in a row, and on the afternoon of the third day, Liu Chengcai came with a customized wooden table.
"Sister Yiyi, our table is ready."
In the afternoon, Liu Chengcai brought the master who delivered the wooden table to help set up the table, put on the electric slide, and then put in a large bowl to do a rotation test.
Don't say it, it was really done for them.
Ten people can sit on one side. Press the switch, and the slide in the middle will rotate by itself, carrying the bowl forward.
Liu Chengcai laughed, "It's done!"
Fan Qingyi also laughed.
His heart finally settled down.
The next day, the workers who came to eat saw a big guy, and they all asked Fan Qingyi curiously.
Fan Qingyi explained that he was going to prepare a small rotating hot pot, and it would be put into trial operation tomorrow. The soup base is free, and there are vegetables, meat, vegetarian meatballs, beef meatballs, beef rolls and other kinds.
"Still choose it yourself?"
Fan Qingyi nodded.
Everyone laughed, "Then I have to try it. Sister Fan's cooking is always good."
"Sister Fan, are you still selling this buffet?"
Some people were not interested in hot pot and were worried that she would cancel the dishes, so they asked.
Fan Qingyi shook her head and said, "No, I won't cancel it. I'll sell both together."
She might not be able to handle it all by herself, so she put most of the dishes out for customers to help themselves.
After the business was over for the day and the store was cleaned up, Fan Qingyi picked up several hot pot soup bases and put a pot in each one.
Oh, the small hot pot used was the old Beijing-style shabu-shabu pot, which Fan Qingyi redeemed with points in the mall. She redeemed twenty in total, all made of copper, and spent a lot of points.
First put charcoal in the pot, then cover it, add soup, wait for it to boil, then put in the meat and vegetables.
She prepared a simple dipping sauce and tried them one by one.
After confirming that there were no problems with the process, she cleaned up and went back to the space in the courtyard to prepare hot pot and buffet dishes for the next day.
With one more person to buy and sell, she had more time to be busy.
The twins came home from school, and she hadn't even raised her head yet.
The two sisters finished their homework and came to help.
Fan Qingyi handed them the note he had written down, "You need to write a few precautions and the instructions for using the small hot pot, and post them on the wall for the guests to see."
It would be more efficient to read the instructions than for her to explain them one by one.
"I'll write it." Li Zhenzhu volunteered.
Li Liuli helped Fan Qingyi make meatballs. The three of them, mother and daughter, worked until nine o'clock. Fan Qingyi asked them to go to bed, as they had to go to school tomorrow and couldn't be late.
She continued to peel the shrimps, pound the shrimps into puree, and make shrimp balls.
When she stood up, she felt as if her waist was almost broken in two.
She gasped in pain and held her waist for a long time before she could muster any strength.
Her lower back was numb and she could feel a creaking sound when she straightened up.
Fan Qingyi hammered gently and put everything away before going to bed.
It seemed as if she had just closed her eyes when the daybreak came.
She quickly got up to make breakfast, and when she went to the stove room she found that Li Liuli had already cooked the food and was scooping hot water into the basin.
"Ali..."
Seeing her coming in, Li Liuli's eyes curved and she smiled energetically, "Mom, you're up, some hot water will be ready."
Fan Qingyi looked at her eldest daughter's rosy face and the flesh on her cheeks that had grown in the past six months, and sighed.
She was willing to do anything for her child, no matter how hard or tiring it was, as long as she could have food to eat, clothes to wear, and books to read.
